I was very happy with our stay here. There is much more to the property than it appears from outside. The pool was wonderful (small but my 2 kids were the only ones in it so it was ok). Breakfast was good, all the staff were very friendly. The neighborhood is a little rough particularly after dark (which is when we arrived) but this is the case with most of downtown as just about everything shuts down by 5 or 6. We did walk out to dinner on the second night (with the kids) and did not feel unsafe. The same distance in the opposite direction would have been less pleasant though. The onsite parking was great. There is no climate control in the rooms but with 2 windows open for a cross breeze, it was fine (a wee bit noisy- but that's the city). Overall, I would definitely stay again!
We stayed on and off at Hotel Santo Tomas for 14 days. Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a better place to call home for extended period of time and be comfortable to adventure out all over the country but know we could go back each day or spend a day away. Amazing suggestions for places to eat, visit, and things to do along the way. The breakfast included had options and was scratch made and fresh. Rooms were clean and all needs were meet above and beyond what was expected. Staff was so kind and thoughtful and willing to help with anything and everything. We will be staying here each time we need to head to San Jose and may even go just for this place.
